What guests say
A bit of a late review :) We stayed here during the Christmas holidays and the hotel was amazing. But let's start with the downside. Unfortunately, no Christmas atmosphere. No Christmas tree, no decorations, absolutely nothing. You expect at least a Christmas tree in the lobby and decorations (like a Christmas tree) in the bar and the restaurant. We had come to Edinburgh specifically for Christmas, so this was very disappointing. All the other hotels had lots of beautiful decorations and Christmas trees. Apart from that, we can certainly recommend this hotel. It is beautiful, has a cozy atmosphere, and the rooms are very modern and beautiful. In fact, I think this is one of the most beautiful rooms I have ever seen. We had booked the superior room with a view. We also enjoyed the food and the atmosphere in the bar. Absolutely worth 5 stars, but I am giving it 4 because of the missing Christmas atmosphere.

This was our first time staying at W Edinburgh, and we had a really lovely experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff were fantastic. They were friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help whenever we needed anything. They made us feel welcome throughout our stay, and their service really stood out. The room was lovely and really comfortable. It was very clean and had everything we needed during our stay. The bed was really comfortable, and we liked the little touches in the room. Having a minibar and coffee machine was a nice bonus. It was nice coming back to the room after a day out. Breakfast was amazing, and we really enjoyed it. We also had afternoon tea at SUSHISAMBA during our stay, which was one of the highlights. The SUSHISAMBA team were so friendly and made us feel really welcome. The food was excellent, and the views were amazing and made the whole experience even better. Overall, we had a fantastic stay at W Edinburgh and would definitely book this hotel again

The staff at this hotel were exceptional . Attentive helpful welcoming . 10/10. Victoria and Taratri . The rooms were clean, well equipped and the beds were comfortable . Beautiful roof deck. They also have a sushi samba which is an extra plus. My only feedback is the breakfast needs more variation.
